Pretzel and Sausage Stuffing with Beer
Description
Pretzel and Sausage Stuffing with Beer features diced pretzel buns baked dry to a crunchy texture before being combined with a mixture of cooked breakfast sausage, onions, and celery. The vegetables are sautéed in butter, followed by deglazing the pan with beer and adding chicken stock and fresh thyme to create a flavorful liquid base. This liquid is gently stirred into the crisp pretzel pieces, allowing them to absorb moisture without turning mushy. The assembled stuffing is placed in a buttered baking dish, topped with butter, and baked until set and heated through. The beer adds a malty depth that complements the savory sausage and the unique chewiness of pretzel bread, making this stuffing a distinctive side for hearty meals.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 cups pretzel buns from about 4 buns, diced
- 1 cup onion diced
- 1/4 cup celery diced
- 1 Pilsner beer 11.2 ounce bottles are ok, too, 11.5 ounce can
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 275F.
- Arrange the diced pretzels in a baking tray in one layer. Bake for 30 minutes, turning halfway to ensure they bake evenly.
- When the pretzels are dried and crisp, remove the tray from the oven and let them sit out to cool.
- Increase the oven temperature to 350F.
- In the meantime, in a medium pot on stovetop over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Add the onions and celery. Saute until the onions are translucent.
- Add the sausage and cook until browned.
- Pour in the beer, and stir to deglaze the pan. Simmer a few minutes to let the alcohol evaporate.
- Add the stock, the thyme, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Gently stir in the dried pretzels to incorporate the liquid. This might take a few minutes, so work slowly and gently to get them combined without crushing the pretzel cubes.
- Butter a baking dish and arrange the pretzel stuffing inside it. Add 2 tablespoons of butter on top.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Bom Apetite!!
